A Health and Fitness Blog

I recently came across another commercial that once again made me cringe. This time it was from Wal-Mart. Check out the commercial below.

This commercial is brilliant. Let’s poison ourselves and our children with this junk instead of going to the drive thru and poisoning ourselves with a different kind of junk because the junk you will buy at Wal-Mart is cheaper than the junk you will buy at the McDonald’s drive thru. I’m sold!

Of course, this commercial doesn’t take into account the amount of money we will spend on medical bills and dental bills due to the ill effects eating this food will have on our bodies. Throw those numbers into the mix and you will see that the real savings comes from eating REAL WHOLE FOODS.

You can purchase a dozen Large Brown Organic Eggs for $3.79. That means you can have 3 eggs for breakfast in the morning for 95 cents! Add in a serving of fruit (such as blueberries) or a couple of slices of breakfast meat (such as bacon or sausage) on the side and you have yourself a wholesome and nutritious breakfast for probably right around $2 or $3. Add in the savings in medical bills and you have yourself quite a deal!

Bottom line: If you want to have savings in your wallet and savings in your health always go with real whole foods, and take the trash that companies such as Wal-Mart are spewing out and put it where it belongs: IN THE TRASH.
